Excerpt from Ex-Governor Brown Replies to B. H. Hill's Notes on the SituationWhen the next Legislature met, there were in it a majority of the old Know Nothing party, and Mr. Hill was elected to the Confederate Senate over General Toombs.While in the Senate he voted, under oath, against the first Conscript Bill. As is well known, I opposed the measure, when made public, as unconstitutional. Not long after this was known, Mr. Hill made a speech in Milledgeville, in which he intended to be very severe on me for my opposition to a measure against which he had cast his vote under oath and said the country would have been ruined it it had not passed. After that time he became the zealous advocate of the conscription policy and denounced all who opposed it.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
